Report March 2nd.

After the successes we have had with Algernon and with much deliberation, I have officially

chosen our first research subject. Charlie Gordon, 32, was recommended to us by Alice

Kinnean from the Beacom School for Retarded Adults, and she has assured me of his desire to increase his intellect.

I have scheduled for Charlie to come to the lab over the next few days, where Burt Selden will run some preliminary psych tests.

We are also going to test his mental flexibility with a few maze puzzles with Algernon.

All that remains is the consent of a family member to grant permission for the operation.

According to Alice Kinnean, his sister Norma might be the most appropriate person to seek out.

Providing there are no warning signs during the testing, and consent is provided, we will be on the cusp of something truly groundbreaking.

All these years of hard work will be vindicated, and the trust

of my wife and those who fund me will have been justified. Dare I say it, I might be remembered

amongst the pantheon of great scientists. Strauss has insisted that we keep a close eye on his mental

state and emotional growth. I am inclined to agree, but feel we cannot be held fully accountable

for the man's personality.

The successful failure of this experiment will rest on the increased intelligence or lack thereof.

One thing is certain. If the experiment works, Charlie Gordon's life will change forever.
